240 lbs is quite a lot, however - it's possible that you're lifting just half of it due to the arrangement of the pulleys.

Free weights are totally different than cables. When you lift free weights you use all your stabilizing muscles that you don't need when lifting cables weights. That can make a huge difference in the amount of Weight you can press.

Theyre probably different.One if probably off scale.
Work alittle by little,Dont hurt yourself or you wont be able to pick up anymore weight then 50 lol
